We'll be reviewing it again based on the fact that it's a new release with a ton of new content. I'll be reviewing it on the basis of its single-player offerings. It's not "wanting clicks" but more like "that's sort of my job."

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition |OT| Gone Gold
- Thread starter jett
- Start date

Will you be taking the new gameplay systems, namely V Trigger 2, and the renewed online play ( granted CFN 2.0 has been a thing for a year now, but I don't think (m)any reviews updated to take that into account) into account, or JUST the single player modes?
Freaking fantastic OP, jett
Never thought I'd enjoy another Street Fighter in my lifetime but I'm glad I listened and jumped in during the holiday sale.
21 GB for AE? Criminy. Guess I'll be waiting a few days minimum for the full update to finish then.
Sitting at 960K FM, not sure I wanna grind out the remainder of the trials I didn't finish, but easy/normal survival is toast, one completed run on hard + extreme each, all stories done (including the extra on both difficulties) and a few weeklies are in the bag.
Feeling really fucking burned out right now, lol.

New systems, yes. Stability of online play, yes. Detailed analysis about the new additions to each character, no. I'm not equipped for that level of analysis and my pub's audience is way more causal focused. They're more interested in if this edition is worth picking up for causal online/local play (is it stable, how long does it take to get into matches) and what makes AE different than the initial release.
This game offers a lot for 40 bucks. Good amount of offline content, revamped training mode etc.. Online you can have matches in all leagues, replays etc.. and if you want get really serious, there is an esports/fgc scene with a huge amount of money in.
The main thing that I like about these DLCs is the fact that in the menu you can then choose what you want on a per-mode and even per-character basis. I tend to have everything turned on but randomized, so for instance in a fight vs a Ryu there's a chance it'll be Ryu's SF5 theme, or his SF2 theme, the stage theme, or one of a few story mode tracks associated with Ryu. You can turn stuff on and off at a granular level, so if you despised a particular character theme or arrangement you could make it so you never hear that specific theme.
One thing I'm curious about is if the SF2 pack will be updated for Blanka and Sagat, if they'll patch those themes in for those two for people who own that pack already.
I think if you're playing a lot it's the sort of variety that can help keep you sane, honestly. Any SF3/4/Alpha music DLC would now be an instant purchase for me.
DSP analyzing my 1 minute M.Bison. Doesn't know how to deal with random buttons.
ive had the same experience for the last couple of days. ive been wondering the same thing
So I have vanilla + S1 + S2 on Steam.
When AE upgrade hits, does it include any free costumes?
I was considering buying the Battle Pass set of costumes but I'm reading mixed reports online that they're included with AE.. (Confused!)

A higher metacritic score can't hurt the game, that's for sure. :p At least people will know that they get the retail version of the game finally, after 2 years lol. ;) It seems Ryu got his early SFIV-esque cr. mk back, so he might actually show up in tournaments again this season.
Ha, this video is amazing. I love his Alex Jones style eruptions.
If you buy a character with fight money, you don't get any kind of discount on the season pass right?
Have over 150k that I'll probably just end up using on stages. As fun as it would be to get Sakura for free, I can't commit to doing that for the rest of them.

Bless Capcom for dealing with Ingrid in the best possible way: making her a non-canon costume for the chumps that are willing to pay up for her rather than wasting time, money, and our patience on making her an actual character.
IMO - always get the season pass at the beginning of the season for max value...
I mean, I don't know about "max value" but yeah I've always gotten it right away just so I wouldn't have to worry about it. This season is the first year I planned on holding off, but since they're adding $30 worth of costumes, I'll probably just get it for the peace of mind, even though none of the characters are that interesting to me aside from Falke.
As with every Street Fighter release/update, I shall be supporting the ladies & gentleman at the bottom of the tiers list.
I don't think the "Arcade Edition" version of the game is up for purchase yet, only the regular version. You could buy the Deluxe Edition of the game and let it update tomorrow to the Arcade Edition, or just wait until tomorrow and buy the AE version then.

Nowhere. :|
But it seems it may make no difference for digital purchases (in the US and Asia):
Too bad we don't have specific mentions of Steam.
There will be a mode Extra Battle where you can win a costume by doing specific challenges monthly but it costs FM to play this mode. If you buy the Season 3 Character Pass in the first few weeks you get the following for free:
Ocean Man is back, And Gale is +2 on block. Remember when Chun's IAL was +2 on block?
It's called HQ. It's difficult, but you can win a bunch of money from it.
Yes this is my strategy. Let everyone else waste their fm trying until someone comes up with solid strategy if they are truly difficult (or get more difficult as they go on)
Is it worldwide or only in America? Wonder how they make money off it.
I actually got 2 CTDs clearing out story mode on PC version yesterday. Haven't seen one since turning off RTSS and updating to the latest GeForce drivers, but I hadn't seen any crashes with the game either until that.
I could see it happening at some point now that they (finally) got all this other stuff sorted out. But yeah, gun to my head I'd say they probably won't do it since Sony aren't demanding it.
